After a while, she saw Ji Lingchuan walking over with a group of reporters surrounding him.

Xiang Wan hurriedly walked over, "Lingchuan!"

Ji Lingchuan's gaze fell on Soong Hua, who quickly lifted her skirt and walked towards him.

The reporters quickly moved aside and took pictures of the two of them.

Xiang Wan walked over to Ji Lingchuan and naturally took his arm.

"Lingchuan, are you here to visit me?" Xiang Wan raised her head and smiled at Ji Lingchuan.

Ji Lingchuan lowered his head to look at Xiang Wan's face - a trace of disgust flashed across his eyes.

He retracted his gaze and nodded, "Yes."

Soong Hua covered her mouth and smiled shyly, "I knew you'd come back."

Reporter: "So Director Ji came here specifically to visit Soong Hua?"

"Miss Soong is so lucky to have such a handsome and rich boyfriend like Director Ji."

...

Soong Hua's smile widened when she heard the word 'boyfriend' - she raised her head to look at Ji Lingchuan, "Please don't misunderstand me, everyone - Lingchuan and I are just friends."

She then lowered her head and smiled - wasn't this just a show of affection?

The reporters were not stupid - they could all see the love in Soong Hua's eyes when she looked at Ji Lingchuan. What's more, Ji Lingchuan had just admitted that he was here to visit Soong Hua.

They'd also heard that Ji Lingchuan had specifically invested in Soong Hua to play the role of the female lead in the movie Nightmare, and that the two of them were often trending. Although Ji Lingchuan was not in the entertainment industry, he was more popular and talked about than most of the A-list stars.

Even though she and Ji Lingchuan were mutually beneficial to each other, Xiang Wan couldn't help but enjoy the moment of being exposed to the media - she wanted to be in public with Ji Lingchuan so that she could exist as his "girlfriend."

Ji Lingchuan's gaze inadvertently caught a glimpse of Su Ruixue standing under the shed.

Their gazes met. Su Ruixue held something in her hand and looked at Ji Lingchuan and Soong Hua, who were surrounded by reporters.

The moment she met Ji Lingchuan's gaze, she was so nervous that she forgot to avoid his gaze - it was only when she saw that Ji Lingchuan had taken the initiative to put his arm around Soong Hua's waist that she looked away and walked away.

As soon as she disappeared into the crowd, Ji Lingchuan immediately pulled his hand away from Soong Hua's waist.

Soong Hua looked at him in confusion, "Lingchuan, there's an interview later."

"Yes."

Ji Lingchuan acknowledged her and followed the director, leaving Soong Hua standing there in a daze for a few seconds before she could react.

Su Ruixue pulled out a chair and sat down. Suddenly, she thought of the scene just now and smirked to herself.

She'd often seen Ji Lingchuan and Soong Hua on the news - at that time, she couldn't help but feel that her heart wasn't as bad as it had been before.

In fact, she felt so stifled that she couldn't even breathe.

Ji Lingchuan was an investor, so it was only natural for him to be here. However, when she heard that Ji Lingchuan had specifically invested in this show to let Soong Hua play the leading role, she couldn't help but laugh at herself.

Xiang Wan couldn't help but feel a little sour, but she quickly composed herself.

Gu Xingbei came over with the script after the interview. He looked at Su Ruixue, who was sitting absent-mindedly in her chair, and then walked over and waved the script in front of her eyes. She didn't respond.

Gu Xingbei had a helpless expression: "Hey! Su Ruixue!"

"Huh?" Su Ruixue came back to her senses and looked at Gu Xingbei, who was standing in front of her.

Gu Xingbei pulled out a chair and sat down next to her: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

"No, I... I was just thinking about something." Su Ruixue handed him a glass of water.

Gu Xingbei took the bottle of water, unscrewed it, and took a sip: "My show won't start until the afternoon. Why don't you practice your lines with me first?"

"Okay." Su Ruixue took the script absent-mindedly and started reading.

The manager informed her that the first scene wouldn't start until 10 o'clock, and Gu Xingbei's scenes wouldn't start until 1: 30 in the afternoon, so she told him to wait here.

The temperature at noon in the film studio complex was very high. Even though it was autumn, the temperature during the day was still very high because the film studio complex was near the sea and the weather had been abnormal recently.

Su Ruixue and Gu Xingbei rested under the shed and did nothing, but they were sweating from the heat.

Su Ruixue took out a small electric fan from her bag, turned it on, and handed it to Gu Xingbei, who was reciting the script.

Gu Xingbei took it and looked at Su Ruixue, who was wiping her sweat. "Go back to the hotel."

"How can I do that?" Su Ruixue looked at him with a red face. "I'm your agent, and I have to stay with you to take care of you, and you don't have an assistant yet. I'm going back to the hotel. Who's going to take care of you?"

"Do I look like a cripple?" Gu Xingbei spread his hands.

"Yes!"

Gu Xingbei rolled his eyes. "I acted on my own for the past two years, and I don't have an assistant or a manager. You should go back to the hotel in this hot weather."

"Then now that you have a manager, you don't have to wait for the show alone!" Su Ruixue stood up. "Dinner is served."

After saying that, she went to get the bento box. Gu Xingbei watched her walk away and then collapsed on the chair.

In the business car by the side of the road.

Ji Lingchuan rolled up the window and said, "Nuobai, get someone to send some cold drinks to the production team later."

"Yes, President," Nuobai nodded in response as he started to carry out the orders that Ji Lingchuan had given him.
